Motorcycle rider deaths

No worries 22 woodland close smally ilkeston DE76NURider deaths are in my view as a rider, a once upon a time MAG rep, and a 40yrs of experience driver, misrepresented in statistics that claim ‘rider error’. The police have no tick box to record potholes, surface dressing nor obstructions as the cause. The reason they will tell you is the rider should ride to the conditions, however that is a ridiculous view when you consider that pot holes are often hidden by geography, cannot be avoided because of size or traffic avoidance,  or are hidden by the short cut repairs of inept Council Highways departments who actually blatantly lie to the inexperienced gullible and unqualified councillors who are meant to represent us. They tell councillors that surface dressing is a permanent repair, tgat it is resurfacing, that its safe and offers value for money. Each of these statements are untrue fabrications on the part of managers who are completely out of their depth due to cuts and corrupt tenders. Even the cost of temporary traffic control is huge, thousands of pounds a time.
If the police blamed the roads themselves councils and National Highways Agency would be bankrupt due to successful claims.
So the blaming of the riders is pretty damn unfair. Add to that poor driving on the part of car drivers, diesel spills from cars waggons and buses, ridges from the surfaces laid, the uneven surfaces due to far too many holes dug by the electric, gas and telecommunications companies, and you can see why riders are dying.
Dont get me wrong their are idiot riders too, we cannot control who buys or even it seems steals a bike, and the figures also include electric bikes and the scroates riding them, along with unlicensed off road bikes, and please realise these cretins ate not ‘bikers’, for the title Biker is one most of us wear with pride and respect.
The testing regime as far as I am concerned is not the problem, all the reasons given are. And that truly is common sense, which is something all to often lacking in government and policing.
